Comics Proto-Marvel Universe (Atlas, Timely)

This titanic crab appeared in a 1959 proto-Marvel Comics story, in Tales to Astonish. Giant monsters were hip in the 1950s, daddy-o.

This sci-fi 1984 movie was an important precursor in using a lot of CGI to depict out-of-this-world action. Such as, in this case, space battles.

And he looks great -half the reason we have warframe profiles is because I love how they look weird and cool.

The half-human mobster Raccoon is also an ally of the Nocturnals, as seen in Dan Brereton’s painted comics.

Shocker

Comics Marvel Universe

The “classic” (well, if you’re in your 40s I guess) part of Spider-Man foe the Shocker’s career – 1967-1989, before Marvel started fleshing out his simple characterisation. A good stock jobber, I think.
